Chapter 19 – I’m thanking you, young madam Qi

 

After getting off the highway, Qi Yun showed Xing Zhongwan the way and Xing Zhongwan couldn’t help but say, “Are you actually not blind at all. I almost thought there was a map laid in front of your eyes.”

 

Qi Yun said, “I am familiar with this place.”

 

Xing Zhongwan casually asked: “What place?”

 

Qi Yun’s woeful eyebrows flashed with a faint sadness, “My grandma’s burial grounds.”

 

Xing Zhongwan placed Qi Yun in a wheelchair and looked around. This was the place where the f/cking appointment was, the wilderness. Qi Yun closed his eyes quietly, naturally putting his hands on his legs.

 

A black car came by and stopped in front of the two. A man in a suit got out of the car. He was in his forties, had a hook nose, sported a pair of rimless glasses and was very tall. He respectfully walked in front of Qi Yun and bowed down. “Master Yun.”

 

But his eyes were looking at Xing Zhongwan, who was standing next to him. Seeing the bracelet on his wrist, his eyes flashed with surprise but he quickly returned to his calm demeanor.

 

“Book a hospital for me.”

 

Qi Yun’s words made the man’s face flash with joy, “Master Yun is finally willing to receive treatment? I’ll make the arrangements, Master Yun. Please follow me to the car.”

 

Qi Yun stretched out his hand and tugged at Xing Zhongwan, “Follow him.”

 

Xing Zhongwan replied with an ‘en’ but saw the man with a hooked-nosed man smile at him. “How should I address you?” Just as Xing Zhongwan was about to speak, Qi Yun spoke, “How you should do it, you don’t know?”

 

Chen Ying was startled and couldn’t help but take multiple glances at the bracelet on Xing Zhongwan’s wrist. Xing Zhongwan was embarrassed and wanted to pull his arm away, but Qi Yun was pulling his hand so he couldn’t break free.

 

Chen Ying suddenly bowed to Xing Zhongwan respectfully, “Young madam.”

 

Xing Zhongwan: …

 

All of you from the Qi family are all good at talking nonsense with your eyes open!

 

It wasn’t only the Qi family, but also the Shen family who were good at speaking nonsense. Chen Ying was Shen Qinghong’s personal secretary. Qi Yun was bound to take over the Shen family so he went to the Shen family’s hospital. However, this hospital was special and not open to outsiders. It is a private nursing home for the Shen family with the best medical team.

 

Qi Yun was pushed forward for an inspection and asked Xing Zhongwan to wait outside before going inside, instructing Chen Ying to take good care of him with that rigid tone not leaving his voice for even a moment.

 

After Qi Yun entered, Xing Zhongwan stared at the entrance of the examination room with Chen Ying. Xing Zhongwan grinned, “Hey bro, let’s go out for a smoke.”

 

Chen Ying looked down at the suddenly raised eyebrows and coughed twice before raising his head and regaining his composure. “Please, young madam.” 

 

Chen Ying received news from the bank that someone had come with a bank card and Chen Ying immediately notified the bank deputy to go meet them. When he learned that the person was a man, Chen Ying couldn’t come back to his senses for the whole day. Shen Qinghong hadn’t come back from official business and was still abroad, plus the matter had not been confirmed yet so he didn’t dare to report it to him casually. That was, until today when he saw the actual person and the bracelet, only did Chen Ying believe it himself that the young madam of their Shen family was really a man.

 

Xing Zhongwan took the cigarette that Chen Ying handed him and held it in his mouth but didn’t light it. Chen Ying smiled at Xing Zhongwan and Xing Zhongwan said, “You can’t light it, if you light it, the one in there will kill me.”

 

He could guess what Qi Yun would say.

 

He would say, Wanwan, it’s not good for a girl to smoke…

 

Xing Zhongwan felt a deep sense of powerlessness, “you have nothing you want to ask me?” Xing Zhongwan held the dangling cigarette in his mouth and leaned against the wall of the corridor. His medium-length hair was casually tied with an elastic band. He had a dark gray jacket over his white shirt and dark blue jeans over a pair of straight and slender legs.

 

Chen Ying shook her head, “Master said that you are the young madam, so you are the young madam. Other than that, it’s not up to me.”

 

Xing Zhongwan snorted. The open-mindedness of the Shen family was really eye-opening.

 

“You knew from the start that Qi Yun’s legs can be cured?”

 

Xing Zhongwan was not curious, he just felt that it was strange. The Shen family should have been aware of Qi Yun’s situation but left him alone, waiting for Qi Yun to find a way out on his own. What was their plan?

 

“You should know that the young master still had some feeling in his leg. The master had diagnostic examinations done by our own doctors to prove this.”

 

Chen Ying smiled at Xing Zhongwan. Xing Zhongwan was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, “You really did have good intentions.”

 

Chen Ying bowed down. “Young madam is wise.”

 

The door of the examination room opened, Xing Zhongwan turned around, lowered his face, crushed the cigarette in his hand and threw it into the trash bin by the side. There was nothing else good to add to this.

 

Upon entering, Qi Yun was slowly buttoning his shirt. He heard the door open and said, “Wanwan, come and button me up.”

 

Xing Zhongwan rolled his eyes in his heart. Am I your babysitter!?

 

He went over and fastened the button for him.

 

The doctor saw Qi Yun’s attitude towards Xing Zhongwan and was a little bit stunned. Xing Zhongwan noticed the look he gave and smiled at him. The younger doctor next to the old professor blushed immediately.

 

The old professor glanced sideways at the apprentice beside him. 

 

“What are you looking at? Is the young madam just someone you can look at casually?” Qi Yun said blankly.

 

The old professor hurriedly rectified his apprentice, “Master Yun, he is still young and ignorant, you…”

 

Qi Yun flicked his hand, “Can my legs get better?” The old professor hurriedly got up, “I will send a few people to go back with you. With their assistance, as long as you continue to rehabilitate, there is still hope for your legs to recover.”

 

“My eyes.” Qi Yun had been calm all this time. The old professor was silent for a while and glanced at Chen Ying on the side.

 

Chen Ying said indifferently, “Just tell the truth.”

 

“There is a professor abroad who is a professional in this area. If she can be invited, maybe young master Yun will have hope in regaining your eyesight.”

 

“What’s the rate of success?” Qi Yun pulled on Xing Zhongwan’s hands, his hands were cold. Xing Zhongwan glanced at him. Although his appearance was calm, Qi Yun was still nervous.

 

“That’s hard to say. We still have to run some tests before we can draw a conclusion.”

 

“Alright. Wanwan, let’s go back.” Xing Zhongwan said ‘oh’, bent down and carried Qi Yun to get him into the wheelchair. Chen Ying came up and wanted to help but Qi Yun slapped him away. With that amount of force, Xing Zhongwan saw that the back of Chen Ying’s hand was red.

 

“Master Yun, the chairman has been waiting for your call.”

 

Qi Yun snorted coldly, “Let’s go, Wanwan.”

 

Xing Zhongwan pushed Qi Yun’s wheelchair, thinking to himself, why are you pushing him away so harshly? I didn’t expect you to be so hostile towards him. This Qi Yun really wasn’t someone who could be pushed around.

 

After getting in the car, Qi Yun closed his eyes as he was a little tired and Chen Ying watched them as their car left. Xing Zhongwan looked at Qi Yun, “You sleep for a bit first, I will wake you when we arrive.”

 

Qi Yun opened his eyes and rubbed his own forehead, “If you have any questions, just ask?”

 

Xing Zhongwan started the car. “I don’t have anything to ask.”

 

The corners of Qi Yun’s mouth twitched, “I can only protect you when I get better. My mother should be coming to bother you soon.”

 

Xing Zhongwan thought, I really don’t need your protection.

 

“But the Shen family’s intentions are indeed not sincere.”

 

Qi Yun faced Xing Zhongwan’s direction, “What do you mean?” Xing Zhongwan opened the car window, “Shen Jiaming knows that your legs are good, but deliberately concealed it. Your grandpa completely abandoned you. They want you to return to Shen’s house. This method is too roundabout.”

 

Qi Yun lowered his eyes and said lightly, “My grandfather is not necessarily unaware of all this. In fact, no one is clearer than that old man about those who are pulling the strings behind the scenes.”

 

“They treat you like an object.”

 

Xing Zhongwan was deeply affected. He’s seen this many times. Even after Qi Yun became disabled, he was still being used like a chess piece to the bitter end.

 

“Do you know why they treated you so respectfully? It’s not because of me.”

 

Xing Zhongwan blurted out, “Why? Is it because I’m visually appealing?”

 

Qi Yun raised his head, “Grandma made a will before she died and everything in her Shen family is to be handed over to the grandson and granddaughter-in-law. Chen Ying was someone who stayed by Shen Qinghong for his whole life before my grandmother was born, they only acknowledged the bracelet, not the person.”

 

Xing Zhongwan slammed the brakes, if Qi Yun did not have his seatbelt fastened, he would’ve flown out the car.

 

“What are you saying?”

 

Qi Yun looked at him calmly, “I said that they only agreed to treat me because of you, so I’m thanking you, young madam Qi.” 

The corner of Xing Zhongwan’s mouth gaped open, why is Laozi getting dug deeper and deeper into this pit!

Chapter 18 – If you lie to me, I will drag you together to hell.

 

“You’re saying Qi Yun even gave you his family heirloom! Hahahahahaha, I’m gonna die of laughter! Let me catch my breath, hahahaha.”

 

Xing Zhongwan hung up the phone with a dark face. Not long after, Cheng Zhengzhe called back, suppressing his laughter, “Lao Xing, just go with it.  Qi Yun’s sincerity, it’s a big deal for you to ride in this life. Hahaha.”

 

“Cheng Zhengzhe, have you had enough of life?” Xing Zhongwan’s face was dark. Looking at the bracelet in his hands made him so annoyed that he exuded an oppressive atmosphere.

 

“Or else, you can top him!” Cheng Zhengzhe was very close to abandoning his desire to survive.

 

“It’s not a question of me or him topping, I am a straight man!” Xing Zhongwan was on the verge of storming off.

 

“What straight man? Just bend yourself. Lao Xing, did you realize that the issue we’re discussing right now is about gender issues, but you never mentioned that you hated Qi Yun. In my opinion, it doesn’t matter if you’re straight. The question is whether you like him or not! Could it be that you fell for him?”

 

Xing Zhongwan almost choked on his saliva, “What are you talking about, how could I fall for him? I’ve been pushed around by you for long enough, we haven’t even gotten down to talking about the real deal. Di you get your things done?”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe smiled. “I’m doing it, don’t worry. Just set a time to come back with Xue Qing.”

 

“How did you do it?”

 

“Don’t worry about that. Laozi has his ways~”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe scratched his back as he said this. You think Laozi has it easy because of you? I have to recoup this favour!

 

Xing Zhongwan was a little embarrassed facing Qi Yun in the following days. Every time he undressed and took a bath, Cheng Zhengzhe’s words would flash in his mind inexplicably, just bend himself and everything would be alright. Xing Zhongwan shook his head fiercely. No, absolutely not! I am here to repay my gratitude and I must not cave in. Xing Zhongwan fumbled around a lot and Qi Yun wondered what was going on. He stretched out his hand and pulled on his sleeves. “What’s wrong?”

 

When Xing Zhongwan turned around, he was stunned. They were together everyday so he didn’t realise that after more than a month, Qi Yun had more meat on his face now. That face… Xing Zhongwan turned his head back abruptly. Qi Yun, hurry up and get better, Laozi has to quickly leave soon.

 

Xing Zhongwan was going to take Qi Yun out but the old housekeeper was unwilling to let them go. She blocked the door, the only thing missing now was her holding a knife to her own throat. “Old lady, what are you doing? It’s a new age now, you’re still living in the past. Should I hand a knife to you too?”

 

“You can’t take the third young master out, if something goes wrong none of us can take responsibility for it.” The old housekeeper was very determined, her expression was like she was ready to act out at any moment.

 

“Scram!” Qi Yun’s voice was not loud. The old housekeeper looked at Qi Yun who was sitting in the wheelchair. His complexion was very good. He was still thin but he looked much better compared to more than a month ago. The palms of the old housekeeper were sweating a lot and she knelt forward in front of Qi Yun, “Master Yun, you can’t go out. If anything were to happen to you, our house won’t be able to survive.”

 

Qi Yun’s hand slowly felt around to his side, reaching up to Xing Zhongwan’s sleeve, gradually pulling his hand down. Xing Zhongwan was startled and wanted to break free, but Qi Yun increased his strength. Xing Zhongwan didn’t want to stare too much at the old housekeeper’s eyeballs that were about to fall out.

 

“You are my nanny, I don’t want to ruin your image. If you are afraid of getting implicated, you can call my mother. But today, you can’t stop me.” The old housekeeper fell softly to the ground, “Master Yun. You, You, and Xing…Miss Xing. You both…”

 

Qi Yun’s hollow eyes looked forward without focus. “Was this not what you wanted to see? It’s just as you guys wanted, now scram!” 

 

The old housekeeper climbed to the door. “I won’t let you go out even if I die today.”

 

The old housekeeper looked at Xing Zhongwan as if looking at a monster. Xing Zhongwan’s hand was held by Qi Yun and there were goosebumps forming on his back, he really wanted to break free.

 

Qi Yun turned his head. “Wanwan, go to the kitchen and get a knife.”

 

Xing Zhongwan happily agreed and finally broke out of his hand’s grasp.

 

He took a fruit knife and handed it to Qi Yun. Qi Yun threw it to the ground. “If you want to die, then let me make your wish come true.”

The cold and ruthless voice was akin to Hell’s Asura. The old housekeeper bowed down, “Master Yun, you can’t do this to me. I watched you grow up, you…”

 

Xing Zhongwan couldn’t listen to her words any longer. He didn’t know his woman turned out to be Qi Yun’s nanny. The person who fed Qi Yun her milk ever since he was a baby could actually watch him rot on the bed.

 

The hypocritical scene of the old woman kneeling on the ground made Xing Zhongwan feel particularly sick.

 

He walked over and dragged the old lady aside, and said to the shivering maids. “Take care of the old housekeeper. The old housekeeper is old now. If anything happens, you guys don’t have to think about living anymore.” 

 

“Don’t touch me. You! I really underestimated you, what methods did you use to confuse the third young master, you…you…”

 

The old housekeeper was so angry, her eyes turned red. Xing Zhongwan bent down and whispered in her ear. “Say it. Tell Qi Yun that I was not a ‘Miss Xing’ all along. That I am a man, a real man. Say it, do you dare? You think that Qi Yun doesn’t know about the dirty plan of your master and the Xing family’s ploys. This old lady should take care of herself. If Qi Yun can get better, who do you think will be the first one to go under the knife?”

 

The old housekeeper was stunned and trembling all over. Xing Zhongwan raised his eyebrows, turned and walked towards Qi Yun. It felt so good to use Qi Yun as a shield. Sure enough, in Qi’s house, Qi Yun was the evil demon.

 

Xing Zhongwan carried Qi Yun into the car, fastened his seatbelt, and made him comfortable with a cushion before getting into the driver’s seat.

 

“Do not drive straight to the destination, go around the city centre.” Qi Yun spoke faintly. Xing Zhongwan nodded and looked at Qi Yun wearing a white shirt and khaki coat from the rearview mirror. He was the one who chose Qi Yun’s entire outfit today. Qi Yun was still skinny but his face has gradually gone back to what it looked like back then. Xing Zhongwan coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment.

 

“Are you ill? Caught a cold? “

 

Qi Yun’s voice was monotone, but there was some rare concern in his tone.

 

Xing Zhongwan replied with a single ‘no’ before starting the car and driving out of the villa.

 

Sure enough, not long after driving on the open road, Xing Zhongwan realised that they were being followed.

 

“There’s someone tailing us.”

 

Qi Yun said an ‘en’,”Do not worry about him. Drive towards the city. Someone else will draw them away. I have a location tracker on me. “

 

Xing Zhongwan blew a whistle. Not bad third young master Qi.

 

“What kind of girl whistles, it’s not elegant.”

 

Xing Zhongwan decided to take back his ‘not bad’.

 

“It couldn’t be that you also have a wiretap on you too, right?” “Xing Zhongwan’s originally meant for his remark to be a joke but Qi Yun answered seriously, “At this point, not yet. But I have not ruled it out.”

 

Xing Zhongwan: …

 

Let’s just drive properly for now.

 

After going around the city center a few times, the car that was following them disappeared. Xing Zhongwan took out his mobile phone and started the GPS. Qi Yun said, “Don’t use the GPS, I’ll show you the way.”

 

Xing Zhongwan looked at him with a stupid expression. Qi Yun said, “I am blind but my brain hasn’t gone bad. First, drive up the highway around the city and then just listen to me after you get off the highway.”

 

Xing Zhongwan turned off the GPS and drove on the elevated roads to the freeway.

 

“I didn’t expect the old lady to be your nanny. She really had a hand in raising you.”

 

Xing Zhongwan took out a lollipop from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth. He can’t smoke so although he doesn’t like eating sweets, his empty mouth was really uncomfortable.

 

Qi Yun looked out the window sideways, “After staying in Qi’s house for a long time, I have lost my heart. Maybe the relationship me and her had back then was somewhat sincere. In the first place, it was because I lost my power. Those with no backing in the Qi house cannot survive, she’s only counting the gains and avoiding any losses. It’s just human nature.”

 

Qi Yun said this calmly.

 

“Then you don’t hate her?”

 

Qi Yun turned his head, “Why hate her, she doesn’t matter to me. “

 

Xing Zhongwan bit the milk-flavored lollipop in his mouth. He was really coldhearted.

 

“But one day, if you lie to me, I will drag you together to hell. Wanwan, I will not forgive you.”

 

Qi Yun’s deep voice made Xing Zhongwan chew the candy in his mouth and raise his head. Qi Yun in the rearview mirror was looking straight at him.

 

Xing Zhongwan slammed the brakes and the car behind him honked their horn and drove past them. He looked back at Qi Yun who was already looking sideways out the window.

 

Xing Zhongwan gritted his teeth and cursed a ‘fvck!’

A/N: Heyhey! You’re probably wondering why the updates are so often now. Welp! I found a new novel I’d like to share with you guys so I’m hoping to quickly finish up this one so I can get to work on the next!

Also another shameless plug, check out my original work here! If you like dragons and fluff and er sm-t, then I’m sure it’ll be your cup of tea! I’ve written the ML to have tons of self-control and although he might be cold and ruthless to world, he is in-actuality very clingy and childish towards the MC, though only because he cares of MC. I’m not a big fan of novels where ML is possessive but ruins stuff for the MC. To me, that just sounds kinda like lazy writing, where the author makes conflict happen just because of ML’s feelings. Welp, that’s only my opinion though, I prefer conflict to happen because of a bigger picture, or at least when multiple characters and ploys interact with each other to form a huuge clusterf-ck hehe. ASDFG… what am I rambling on about, if you do like it, please leave a comment, I appreciate it tons!

Chapter 17 – The one wearing a bracelet is my, Qi Yun’s person.

 

It turns out that Qi Yun was still the same Qi Yun. The servant who came in for cleaning moved the chair a bit harshly. The sound made Qi Yun open his eyes and coldly told them to get out. The servant crawled out with the mop. If it was still the original person who could sit up, if he recovered, then will the person that has offended him still have anything good left in their life?

 

Xing Zhongwan held his head, it was all an illusion. What little hedgehog with its thorns removed? He was simply a sleeping tiger, and with a roar, it can scare people away.

 

Xing Zhongwan called and got through to the number that Qi Yun gave him. The other person quickly replied and agreed on a meeting time. There were no extra words exchanged.

 

At the same time, Xing Zhongwan received a text message from Cheng Zhengzhe that it has been done, and someone will come over with Xue Qing.

 

Xing Zhongwan covered his forehead, why would Xue Qing come over to make trouble? He didn’t need to think to know that this dominatrix was coming here to watch a comedy! Xing Zhongwan burst into flames and took out the card in his pocket. You asked me to use this, Qi Yun, and I’ll have it maxed out in minutes.

 

Angry, he drove out in a hurry and went out for a long time not knowing how to use it. In the end. He went to the bank. Qi Yun, you were so bold. I want to see how much money there is. Xing Zhongwan went to the bank and was invited into the VIP lounge as soon as he took out the card. The receptionist did not have low-level aesthetics and Xing Zhongwan blew a whistle. I really can’t underestimate you, Qi Yun. He threw the card over, “How much is in it?”

 

The reception manager took it cautiously, “Wait a minute.” After a while, the reception manager came out from the inside, “Excuse me, sir, I don’t have the clearance. Please wait a moment.”

 

With a lollipop in his mouth, Xing Zhongwan raised his hand and glanced at the watch. Five minutes later, a man in a straight suit walked up hurriedly, “How would you like to be addressed sir?”

 

Xing Zhongwan said lightly, “Xing. “

 

The man was taken aback. He then invited Xing Zhongwan to go upstairs politely. Xing Zhongwan threw the stick in his hand into the ashtray nearby, “No need, return the card to me and I will go.” After leaving, the man hurriedly stopped and laughed, “You have misunderstood.” He then reported the amount. Xing Zhongwan couldn’t help but laugh. Qi Yun, is this fvcking pocket money? You aren’t giving me all your old account books, are you? But thinking about the stack of cards in the safe, Xing Zhongwan thought, if he was a woman, would this be considered as being provided for?

 

Taking the card in the man’s hand, Xing Zhongwan left without looking back. The man lifted his glasses on the bridge of his nose. His calm composure was gone and his face was full of disbelief. The manager on one side asked carefully, “Deputy, what is this person’s background?  That card…”

 

“You shut up! You better keep your lips tightly sealed about today’s affairs!” 

 

The man looked at the car taking off at the entrance at full speed. He couldn’t help but rub his eyebrows. Was this supposed to be the young madam in the future? He didn’t see it wrong? It was a man!?

 

Xing Zhongwan sat at the table and ate with many pauses in between. His eyes were still not at ease, watching Qi Yun slowly move the food with his chopsticks, though it was much better than yesterday.

 

“Did you go check up that bank card?” Qi Yun suddenly talked about the card and Xing Zhongwan almost choked on the food in his mouth.

 

“Did you grow your eyes on my body?” He felt like something was wrong after he said it.

 

“Even if they did grow on you, I still can’t see. I think, following your attitude, you will definitely go to the bank.” Qi Yun didn’t care at all, he put the food in his mouth gracefully.

 

His voice was much better than before. It was not so hoarse and was gradually recovering. His original voice was not that crisp and a little baritone.

 

“Why did you give me so much money? Aren’t you afraid that I will run away with it?”

 

Xing Zhongwan poked the vegetables in front of him. The feeling of being stuffed with a lot of money without any reason was really amazing.

 

Qi Yun put down his chopsticks and turned his head to Xing Zhongwan, “The money is not mine. My grandma left it for her future grandson and daughter-in-law.”

 

Ptui- Xing Zhongwan couldn’t help but spit out the rice in his mouth. The corners of Qi Yun’s eyebrows twitched and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up.

 

“It couldn’t possibly be that this little bit of money scared you? When you officially marry me, you can take over the rest of the inheritance left by my grandma.”

 

Xing Zhongwan took a serviette on one side and wiped his face. He really wanted to fvcking cry without tears. Do you think Lao Tzu has no money? I was shocked about the grandson and daughter-in-law part. Dear god, when will this come to an end?

 

Qi Yun, this can’t go on. I have to find a way to let you know that I am a man, and when you notice this yourself, it will have nothing to do with me.

 

Then…

 

Xing Zhongwan deliberately rubbed his chest against his back when supporting Qi Yun to the bathroom.

 

Qi Yun: Did the Xing family treat you badly when you were a kid? Your upbringing doesn’t seem to be very good, but I don’t mind.

 

Xing Zhongwan: …

 

Xing Zhongwan read the news to Qi Yun, using his own original voice, even deliberately deepening it a little bit.

 

Qi Yun: Is your throat uncomfortable today? Let the doctor come over and have a look, your voice as a girl is already pretty deep, don’t delay any longer…

 

Xing Zhongwan: …

 

Xing Zhongwan went to see the gym and when he came back, he asked Qi Yun to touch his muscles on his arms.

 

Qi Yun: Physical exercise is a good thing, but girls don’t need to train their muscles too much. It’s cuter if they are soft.

 

Xing Zhongwan was about to vomit blood…

 

After the shower, Xing Zhongwan stood naked in front of the mirror and looked at himself. Where did Lao Tzu resemble a woman? Did I have to show my bird in front of Qi Yun to prove that I am a man?

 

He felt really depressed, and Xing Zhongwan threw the towel in his hand towards the sink annoyedly, accidentally bumping the shower gel above. Several bottles fell down with a loud sound.

 

After a while, Qi Yun’s voice came from outside. “Wanwan, what’s wrong?”

 

Xing Zhongwan was annoyed. Suddenly there was a muffled noise. Xing Zhongwan hurriedly opened the door and rushed out. Half of Qi Yun’s body fell out of bed. Xing Zhongwan quickly helped him up, “Just don’t give me any more trouble, will you?”

 

When he lowered his head, he found that Qi Yun’s neck was red again as his arm was around his shoulder. Xing Zhongwan realized that he was not wearing any clothes.

 

“Although I can’t see it, it’s not good for you as a girl to be seen without clothes.”

 

The hand on the shoulder slowly retracted and Qi Yun turned his head awkwardly.

 

Xing Zhongwan: …

 

He doesn’t want to live this kind of life anymore…

 

At night, Xing Zhongwan tossed and turned but couldn’t fall asleep. Things went in a very strange direction and he couldn’t stop the car. Qi Yun believed that he was a woman, and he didn’t know how his brain assumed that. Was there a woman’s voice like his’? Was his body too stiff? How could Qi Yun’s mind not process it?

 

Actually, Qi Yun was not to blame. Everyone in the house called him Miss Xing.

 

Moreover, the Xing family wanted to reap some benefit from Qi Yun and would never send a man over. A daughter from the Xing family would be the best choice.

 

There was nothing wrong with Qi Yun’s assumption. The fault lies in the group of people in this house who kept speaking nonsense with their eyes open, and Xing Zhengping’s twisted ideas.

 

“Can’t sleep?” Qi Yun’s voice suddenly sounded. Xing Zhongwan replied with an ‘en’.

 

“You speak with a southern accent. Did you grow up in the south?”

 

Xing Zhongwan readjusted his head on the pillow. “My mother is from the south, and so is my grandfather. I didn’t tell you before but I grew up with him and he liked to teach me the southern dialect. I don’t like the way your people here speak in a serious tone.”

 

Qi Yun replied. “Very good, it sounds soft, like the spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River.”

 

“Have you ever been there?” Some curiosity was sparked up in Xing Zhongwan.

 

“When I was young, I lived with grandma in Jiangnan for a while. It was a wonderful period of time. Grandma took me to the theater. Although I didn’t understand it, I liked the melodies.”

 

Qi Yun’s voice was less hostile at night and Xing Zhongwan nodded, “I haven’t listened to it for a long time but I can still sing it. I will sing for you. “

 

Xing Zhongwan sat up and hummed a bit, “I haven’t sung for a long time. You’re not allowed to laugh if I don’t sing it well. “

 

Xing Zhongwan sang《The West Chamber》.

    The horseshoe left prints in the frosty street,

 

    He came back to relieve the expectations placed upon him,

 

    The official returned to bring honor to his wife.

 

    ……

 

After he finished singing, Xing Zhongwan couldn’t help but smile.”I haven’t sang for a long time, I couldn’t remember the lyrics. If my grandfather heard this, he would beat me with a stick.” Thinking of his grandfather, Xing Zhongwan’s chest felt a little sour.

 

A hand touched Xing Zhongwan’s shoulder. It moved to his head and gently rubbed it. Xing Zhongwan was startled. “Aiyah, you don’t have to comfort me, I’m not a kid. “

 

“You’re very good, and you can sing very well. “

 

Xing Zhongwan turned his head and the dim light hit Qi Yun’s face. Qi Yun has eaten normally these days so he has some meat on his face, which looks more pleasing to the eyes.

 

“Go open the safe now, there is a red box. Bring it to me. “

 

Xing Zhongwan wondered what was in the safe that needed to be opened in the middle of the night?

 

“Leave it until tomorrow if there’s no rush.”

 

“Wanwan, be good and go get it.” Qi Yun’s words successfully gave Xing Zhongwan goosebumps.

 

Qi Yun, you are really not suited for saying such things.

 

He took the box out and handed it to Qi Yun. Qi Yun felt around before opening the box and took out a bracelet from the inside.

 

“Extend your left hand.”

 

Xing Zhongwan stretched out his hand and saw Qi Yun unfasten the concealed clasp on the bracelet. The bracelet opened up and Qi Yun’s warm hand felt up Xing Zhongwan’s wrist before putting it on his hand. He then closed the concealed buckle. It was a little tight, but it could be worn.

 

Xing Zhongwan couldn’t figure out why Qi Yun did this. He raised his hand and found that the bracelet was inlaid with gold and jade. The jade inside was shining with dim light, and the jade inlaid with gold on the outside was wrapped in emerald green. The workmanship was very exquisite. It seemed to be a carving of a phoenix.

 

“This. Is this a gift for me?”

 

Xing Zhongwan was confused.

 

Qi Yun nodded, “This is what my grandmother left for her granddaughter-in-law.”

 

Xing Zhongwan suddenly raised his head. He pulled on the bracelet on his hand for a long time but couldn’t get it to open.

 

“It can’t be pulled open. This bracelet has a hidden clasp. The workmanship is very exquisite and only I know how to open it.”

 

Brother, what are you trying to do?

 

Qi Yun held Xing Zhongwan’s hand. “The one wearing a bracelet is my… Is Qi Yun’s person.”

A/N: If you would like to learn more about the 《The West Chamber》, check out this link here!

It is known as China’s most popular love comedy, and tells the story of two star-crossed lovers who elope but then somehow eventually manage to get everyone’s approval for their marriage.

Also, a shameless plug for my own original series but- if you like dragons and are craving some smut fluff, look no further than “This Sly Dragon’s Getting a Little Too Close For Comfort“!! I’ve also shamelessly promoted this on the previous chapter, and it includes sm-t on the very first chapter hehe. Just click on the link and read the description to see if it’s your cup of tea! It would mean tons to me if you read it and told me what you think of it 🙂
